The new number one of Manchester City won the “Yashin Trophy” and was greeted by the former Rossoneri with an expression in dialect. Then he “forgot” to thank his former technician

Put an Dutch and a Campania in Paris, who greet each other with an expression in Milanese dialect. It is not a joke, but the curtain that Ruud Gullit and Gigio Donnarumma gave birth during the award ceremony of the 2025 golden ball ceremony.

Donnarumma and the joke of Gullit

At the moment when the goalkeeper of Manchester City and the national team went on stage to collect the “Yashin Trophy”, reserved for the best goalkeeper, the former Dutch striker welcomed him with the Milanese expression “Hi Bel Fieu”, that is “Hello Bel Boy”, unleashing the smiles of the Italians present in the room (including Fabio Capello and Gigi Buffon) or connected to follow the event. Donnarumma preceded in the ranking of the Liverpool Alisson Prize, Interista Yann Sommer, Courtois of Real Madrid, the Moroccan Bounou of the Al-Hilal, Raya dell’Arsenal, Oblak of Atletico Madrid, Emiliano Martinez of Aston Villa, his successor to PSG, Lucas Chevalier, and Selz of the Nottingham Forest))

Donnarumma does not mention Luis Enrique

The laughter left room for some polemical hints when Donnarumma took the floor for the ritual speech, not mentioning his coach Luis Enrique. “Thank you all, I am honored with this prize. I am really satisfied with my performances in the last season and thanks to my former team (the PSG, editor’s note) we hit an incredible season – said Gigio -. Now I am focused on my new adventure and I thank the City for focusing on me. I hope to win so many trophies together. I also thank my family, my wife and my little baby”. The president of the PSG, at the Khelaifi, instead, thanked Donnarumma and wished him the best when they collect the prize dedicated to the best team of the year.
